Michiel Huisman FanA Fansite for Dutch Actor/Musician Michiel Huisman

Welcome to Michiel Huisman Fan, the fansite for Dutch actor Michiel Huisman. Or as one article called him, 'that hot scruffy dude from all your favorite shows'! Whether you're a new fan or have followed his career, we hope to give you the most up-to-date and complete information about Michiel. Enjoy your stay!

Tonight the long awaited fourth season of Game of Thrones premieres in America. Tomorrow we can enjoy the spectacle in which not only Carice van Houten but also Michiel Huisman can be seen.

Game of Thrones, in which Michiel plays the brave warrior Daario, is not the only production the actor puts himself on the map with.

Three series at the same time

In the coming month the Dutch man, who’s been living in New Orleans for five years now, can be seen in as much as three TV series on American television.

No rest

ABC is currently showing the third season of Nashville, in which Michiel plays the roll of rogue music producer Liam McGuinness. And BBC America starts airing season 2 of the sci-fi drama Orphan Black on the April 19th. Michiel plays the new character Cal in this series.

The Big Screen

Michiel is making himself known in the movie-scene as well. After a small part in the action-thriller World War Z with Brad Pitt last year, he is currently shooting the feature film The Age of Adaline together with Harrison Ford
and Blake Lively. This movie is set to premiere in 2015.

Brad Pitt before him and now actor Michiel Huisman will be the new face of Chanel. Together with – not the least either – Gisele Bündchen.

Starting September Michiel and Gisele will be seen in the Chanel N5 campaign. Paparazzi pictures that appeared online two weeks ago showing them in full costume. Sharp suit, done up hair, pretty dress… and Gisele in comfortable black Uggs. Michiel’s roll in the clip isn’t clear yet.

Game of Thrones

The Dutch actor’s career is going strong in the US, where he has lived for 5 years now. Recently he was in three popular TV shows: HBO-hit Game of Thrones, musical series Nashville and sci-fi drama Orphan Black.

Getting bigger parts

Huisman is also getting more and bigger parts in movies. Recently he taped The Age of Adaline with Harrison Ford and Gossip-Girl actress Blake Lively. This movie will probably be out by the end of this year.

€7 Million

How much the actor gets for the Chanel campaign is unknown. We do know that Brad Pitt could add €7 million to his bank account two years ago.

Michiel Huisman keeps on going. In an interview with the prestigious Interview Magazine he tells about his work. And: He poses for some hot pictures.

That Michiel Huisman was doing well we already knew.

This year he played in as much as three shows on American TV: Game of Thrones, Nashville and Orphan Black. Now he’s also working on the movies Wild, with Reese Witherspoon, and Age of Adaline, with Blake Lively and Harrison Ford.

Gypsy Life

After spending a few months in a hotel in Vancouver because of working there, he is currently back at his home in New Orleans. With his wife Tara Elders and their daughter. “We felt that the gypsy life is hard if you don’t have a steady home base anywhere in the world”, Michiel tells Interview Magazine. They’re not home a lot but “it feels good to have a place with our own things somewhere.”

Carice van Houten

He explains to Andy Warhol’s magazine how he practices accents for his rolls. Just when he got the hang of the American accent he needed to learn a mix of British and European sounds for Game of Thrones. He also tells that he thinks it’s a shame he never sees Carice van Houten on the Game of Thrones set because their storylines are being shot in completely different countries.

Have you watched Game of Thrones this season and thought, “I wish Daario Naharis was my champion”? Did you then flipped over to Nashville and found yourself cursing music producer Liam for getting Scarlett addicted to uppers? And have you been attracted to them both? Yup, that’s the power of chameleon-like Michiel Huisman, who has brought his dark horse appeal to Westeros, the pop-country music circuit, and now, TV’s most beloved cult favorite, Orphan Black. For the uninitiated, the BBC America sci-fi thriller, which airs Saturdays at 9 pm EST, stars Tatiana Maslany as a collection of clones. In season 2 of the cult favorite, Huisman plays the beleaguered love interest to one of them: rebellious single mom, Sarah. We caught up with Huisman to discuss his roles on Orphan Black and Game of Thrones, as well as his upcoming film The Age of Adaline, which co-stars Blake Lively and Harrison Ford. And for the record he’s just as charming on the phone as he is clad in armor reigning victorious for the Mother of Dragons.

You really are all over TV right now.

Yeah, it’s a little weird almost. I just did a photo shoot for a magazine with a bunch of supporting actors and they’d ask me, “So what show are you on?” and I was almost embarrassed to say, “Well, Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, and Nashville.” They’re like, “How’s that possible?” And I don’t know. Somehow it was possible to be guests on all those shows in the last year. It’s been fun. One of the fun things as an actor is to really spread your wings as wide as possible and do a variety of roles. I’ve been really lucky in that sense I think.

Are these shows ones you were a fan of before?

There’s so many great TV shows out there right so there’s no way I can see all of them. So Orphan Black, when I was asked to do an audition for it, I’d never seen it. So I started watching it and I loved it right away. I was completely blown away by Tatiana’s performance in it and that I’m looking at scenes with two characters that are played by one actress and I’m believing it. After watching the show I was even more eager to be part of it. The same goes for Game of Thrones. I’d seen a lot but after auditioning I watched everything. It’s weird to say I’m a fan of shows I’m working on myself, but I think I am.

Will you be in any scenes on Orphan Black that involve more than one clone?

Not really. There’s one scene towards the end where I get to see a couple more but not really. My storyline involves Sarah.

It all started with a boyband called Fontane in Holland. Actor and Dutch daddy cool Michiel Huisman is a rising star in Hollywood and now he has been contracted by Chanel to be the fresh face next to supermodel mom Gisele Bündchen in the Chanel N°5 campaign.The 32-year old actor who stars in Games of Thrones will follow in the footsteps of Brad Pitt and will be starring next to Gisele. We are very proud of this handsome dad and can’t wait to see him in in this presigious campaign!

As things stand, if Mr Michiel Huisman is to be remembered for only one role it would surely be his plum assignment as the lover of the Mother of Dragons. By landing the role of mercenary Daario Naharis on season four of HBO’s Game of Thrones, the Dutch actor has been required to do his lascivious best with Ms Emilia Clarke’s character, Daenerys Targaryen. At one stroke, by acting out such a popular nerd-boy fantasy, he simultaneously announced himself in spectacular fashion and unleashed the green-eyed monster in us all.

On the back of that enviable exposure, Mr Huisman is currently riding a wave of Hollywood momentum. Later this year we’ll see him with Ms Reese Witherspoon in Wild, to be followed early in 2015 by a leading role, as Ms Blake Lively’s love interest, in The Age of Adaline.

“I guess I was a child actor,” admits 33-year-old Dutch actor Michiel Huisman. Holland, however, is not Hollywood, and Huisman, who grew up in and just outside of Amsterdam, assures us that his early start in the film industry didn’t get him any special treatment. “Acting was one of the things I did alongside going to school: I’d be playing guitar, I’d be playing soccer, and I would be acting in movies,” he explains. “Because Holland is so small, it was never considered a career.”

In grade school, Huisman downplayed his extracurricular activities: “I would keep it to myself a little bit. If kids would ask, ‘Where were you yesterday?’ I would tell them, but if not, I wouldn’t say, ‘I was shooting.'” It wasn’t until later, as a teenager at university, that he decided to pursue acting seriously. “I thought, maybe I’m already doing what I want to be doing,” he recalls.

Chances are that you recognize Huisman from a television series; the question is which one. After moving to the US in 2009, Huisman’s first American role was as a drug-consuming musician on the New Orleans-set jazz drama Treme. This year alone, he’s had significant roles on ABC’s Connie Britton-starring country music show, Nashville, HBO’s fantasy behemoth Game of Thrones, and BBC America’s cult drama Orphan Black “I can’t quite put my finger on it,” Huisman says of his diverse range of fans. “People come up to me: ‘I saw you on this and this.’ I look at them and I’m like, ‘I would have never thought that; I would have thought you were watching this show.’ “On Game of Thrones, Huisman plays Daario Naharis, a merchant soldier (“sellsword”) and leader of the prestigious Second Sons, who pledges his allegiance (and love) to the mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. Daario appeared in several episodes at the end of Season Three played by British actor Ed Skrein. At the beginning of Season Four, however, Skrein was silently replaced by Huisman, and few fans seemed to notice Skrein’s absence.

Recently, Huisman has been working on films, most notably Jean-Marc Vallée’sWild with Reese Witherspoon and The Age of Adaline with Blake Lively and Harrison Ford.
